ABV: 7.2%

I just brewed this yesterday, and it is a tweak to my first IPA recipe a few months ago. I also had quite a few miscellaneous hops in the freezer left over from previous batches, which is why this is called the "Kitchen Sink" IPA. This is also why some of the hop addition amounts are strange . The Perle and Select Spalt were just some random whole leaf hops I had left over, but those could be replaced with anything really. Centennials for bittering and aroma would be a great companion to the Magnum and Cascades. When I do this one again, that's what I'll be using. I plan to dry hop in the keg, by zip tying a bag full of hops to the dip tube about halfway down in the keg. One keg will get Cascade, the other will get Centennial...just to keep it interesting. When I get near the end of these kegs, I may blend them together just for fun.

I mashed at a low temperature (150F) for 75 minutes on this one to acheive a more fermentable wort and lower final gravity. I also added 1# of corn sugar to add some fermentables without adding any residual sweetness. I also raised the temperature at the end of fermentation to 75F, which I've found helpful to rouse the yeast and consume any sugars still left behind. If you have any suggestions, please let me know...as this is just my third IPA I've ever brewed I'm eager to hear input from more experienced brewers. Thanks!
